Dr Abi Adanijo

I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist with experience supporting young people and their families in various settings. I currently work in a community-based NHS service, where I provide tailored mental health support to young people and the systems around them. My focus is on helping young people navigate psychological challenges, specialising in personalised individual therapy to adolescents and young adults.

I am trained in a range of evidence-based and trauma-informed therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Narrative Therapy. I also incorporate elements of Mentalisation Based Therapy (MBT) in my work, where appropriate. My approach is integrative, ensuring that the therapeutic strategies I use are aligned with the unique needs and goals of each young person that I work with. 

Building trust and collaboration is central to my work. I recognise the importance of considering each person’s social, cultural, and personal context and I work sensitively to co-create a space where all individuals feel valued, respected, and understood. I am committed to providing a safe and supportive environment where young people feel empowered to explore their challenges and work towards their goals. 

I am fully registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), the governing body for Clinical Psychologists in the UK. My registration number is PYL045274.
